Picking fruit trees clean is hard work—especially when there’s a lot of it! But, when left on trees or on the ground, fruit will rot and attract pests like roof rats.
This is why many tree owners hire a citrus removal service—and if you want all your fruit to go to a good cause and lower your tax bill, Homegrown is the way to make that happen (see details below the form).
You’ll get a tax receipt for the market value of your fruit, nuts, etc. that we harvest. You can deduct cash and property contributions to Homegrown up to 50% of your AGI.

We distribute harvested food by supplying local sellers as well as nonprofit partners like FeedPhx & Arizona Food Bank Network. Any fruit that isn’t edible anymore will go to our composting partners, such as Green Thumbs Recycling and Arizona Worm Farm.
You can also Call Us or Email Us with any questions. Thanks for doing something useful with your fruit!
